Metabolite Identification
Common NameDimethylpropiothetin
Descriptiondimethylsulfoniopropionate, also known as dimethylpropiothetin or DMPT, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as carboxylic acid salts. These are ionic derivatives of carboxylic acid. dimethylsulfoniopropionate exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. dimethylsulfoniopropionate has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as sourdocks (Rumex articus), orange mints (Mentha aquatica), java plums (Syzygium cumini), kumquats (Fortunella), and black chokeberries (Photinia melanocarpa). This could make dimethylsulfoniopropionate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. dimethylsulfoniopropionate is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on dimethylsulfoniopropionate. This compound has been identified in human blood as reported by (PMID: 31557052 ). Dimethylpropiothetin is not a naturally occurring metabolite and is only found in those individuals exposed to this compound or its derivatives. Technically Dimethylpropiothetin is part of the human exposome. The exposome can be defined as the collection of all the exposures of an individual in a lifetime and how those exposures relate to health. An individual's exposure begins before birth and includes insults from environmental and occupational sources.
